55
00:01:44.670 --> 00:01:46.930
thank you so much for your time. Congratulations on the show, guys.
56
00:01:46.969 --> 00:01:47.750
Thanks, Brad.
57
00:01:47.829 --> 00:01:48.390
Great to meet you.
58
00:01:48.670 --> 00:01:49.349
Good to meet you.
59
00:01:50.390 --> 00:01:51.510
You as well. You as well.
60
00:01:51.569 --> 00:01:54.909
Look, I have so many questions about this show. First off, though,
61
00:01:55.409 --> 00:01:58.659
I want to say, the trailer for this show, because
62
00:01:58.840 --> 00:02:01.400
I was in the newsroom. I told somebody I'm doing
63
00:02:01.439 --> 00:02:03.959
this interview. They've seen the trailer. They said it's one
64
00:02:03.980 --> 00:02:06.920
of the most captivating trailers they've seen. And I've actually
65
00:02:06.959 --> 00:02:09.340
heard this from a couple of people. What so far,
66
00:02:09.430 --> 00:02:11.969
before we jump into the show, what have you all
67
00:02:12.050 --> 00:02:15.550
heard from the audience and from some of your colleagues
68
00:02:15.610 --> 00:02:17.990
just about the hype around this show, Patrick?
69
00:02:18.610 --> 00:02:19.069
The hype.
70
00:02:19.530 --> 00:02:21.509
I've heard nothing about the hype.
71
00:02:21.530 --> 00:02:22.669
You haven't heard anything about the hype?
72
00:02:23.110 --> 00:02:24.810
Look, well, this is the thing, Brad.
73
00:02:26.110 --> 00:02:30.120
In this game, you hear nothing but good things. People
74
00:02:30.219 --> 00:02:32.050
are loving it. Oh, my God, people are loving it.
75
00:02:32.060 --> 00:02:33.039
Super excited. It's amazing.
76
00:02:33.159 --> 00:02:33.639
People love it.
77
00:02:33.639 --> 00:02:35.419
No bad meetings. No bad meetings.
78
00:02:35.819 --> 00:02:37.979
And say, like, great, sounds good. We'll wait until it
79
00:02:38.020 --> 00:02:40.340
comes out. I've heard a lot of people say, I
80
00:02:40.379 --> 00:02:41.699
think I'll have to get Apple.
81
00:02:42.360 --> 00:02:42.939
That's a good thing.
82
00:02:44.039 --> 00:02:44.340
Have you?
83
00:02:44.819 --> 00:02:47.750
Brendan, tell me this. Has anyone said? Hey, Brendan, loved
84
00:02:47.789 --> 00:02:51.250
you in that trailer, mate, on the phones.
85
00:02:51.389 --> 00:02:51.990
Yeah, yeah.
86
00:02:52.490 --> 00:02:55.050
Patrick and I often get mistaken for each other.
87
00:02:55.110 --> 00:02:55.569
Constantly.
88
00:02:55.590 --> 00:02:59.129
Of course. We take credit for each other's careers quite
89
00:02:59.189 --> 00:03:02.250
constantly when we're recognised in public for each other's work.
90
00:03:02.310 --> 00:03:05.120
And I thought that was good for the actress, you know,
91
00:03:05.159 --> 00:03:05.979
Chloe's character.
92
00:03:06.039 --> 00:03:06.860
I think so, for sure.
93
00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:09.460
Because she may not have genuinely known who was her dad.
94
00:03:10.949 --> 00:03:15.030
And it adds to the mystery. It adds to people guessing.
95
00:03:15.069 --> 00:03:18.620
Jokes aside, when I heard Brendan was cast, I was like, well,
96
00:03:18.639 --> 00:03:22.539
that's kind of genius, like just on that level, because
97
00:03:22.580 --> 00:03:23.900
Ian and Henry.
98
00:03:23.919 --> 00:03:25.020
Because he is a genius.
99
00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:29.280
Well, I wouldn't say that, nor should you, Brad. But
100
00:03:29.419 --> 00:03:31.740
two sides of the same coin, Ian and Henry. You know,
101
00:03:32.060 --> 00:03:34.060
as you go through, it's not hero and villain. You
102
00:03:34.139 --> 00:03:36.939
see that nobody's actually clean in this. No.
103
00:03:37.039 --> 00:03:37.590
It's interesting.
104
00:03:37.780 --> 00:03:38.150
Filthy.
105
00:03:40.030 --> 00:03:42.610
Well, Maxine, why don't we talk about Jenna for a
106
00:03:42.849 --> 00:03:45.110
minute and talk about kind of your first impressions of
107
00:03:45.129 --> 00:03:46.650
the character, because I think the writing of the show
108
00:03:46.669 --> 00:03:49.539
is so excellent, as is the basis and the bones
109
00:03:49.580 --> 00:03:52.099
of any great story is the writing. What was your
110
00:03:52.139 --> 00:03:55.240
first impression of Jenna? And did you get all six?
111
00:03:55.539 --> 00:03:57.199
Did you get all the scripts at the same time
112
00:03:57.240 --> 00:03:59.080
or was it or did you get them one at
113
00:03:59.139 --> 00:03:59.530
a time?
114
00:03:59.759 --> 00:04:00.689
No, I think I did.
115
00:04:00.729 --> 00:04:02.810
No, it eked out over time for me.
116
00:04:02.810 --> 00:04:03.669
Yeah, I think I got a couple.
117
00:04:03.689 --> 00:04:06.990
I think I got like two scripts. And that's quite
118
00:04:07.030 --> 00:04:09.050
hard sometimes because you know, and you get to it
119
00:04:09.069 --> 00:04:10.969
and they go, oh, and the character will develop. And
120
00:04:10.990 --> 00:04:15.210
we've all been on those jobs that you go, last episode,
121
00:04:15.250 --> 00:04:18.009
when is the character developing? But they did sort of
122
00:04:18.040 --> 00:04:20.759
promise me that, you know, it would, yeah, it would
123
00:04:20.779 --> 00:04:24.240
become apparent, you know, and a character would have a,
124
00:04:24.899 --> 00:04:27.420
you know, a journey. But yeah, it was, when I
125
00:04:27.459 --> 00:04:30.220
first read it, I went, she's really, this is going
126
00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:30.680
to be hard.
127
00:04:30.740 --> 00:04:31.899
This is complicated.
128
00:04:31.959 --> 00:04:34.509
I don't mean emotionally, but I mean, just get into
129
00:04:34.529 --> 00:04:36.449
the nub of this woman and what makes her tick
130
00:04:36.509 --> 00:04:39.079
and why she does what she does. And, So for me,
131
00:04:39.220 --> 00:04:42.519
that was a real challenge to slot that jigsaw together.
132
00:04:42.639 --> 00:04:44.860
But I like a challenge. If it's not a challenge,
133
00:04:44.899 --> 00:04:47.740
then I don't really see the point in doing it,
134
00:04:47.879 --> 00:04:48.189
you know?
135
00:04:48.449 --> 00:04:51.410
So, yeah. Well, I mean, of course it's a challenge.
136
00:04:51.449 --> 00:04:53.670
And Britain, you know, obviously whenever we see a character
137
00:04:53.689 --> 00:04:55.889
for the first time on screen, they're bringing their whole
138
00:04:55.970 --> 00:04:58.829
life before we meet them with them. And in this
139
00:04:58.920 --> 00:05:02.110
one in particular, there's that period of 11 years that's
140
00:05:02.129 --> 00:05:04.920
so paramount and so much happens that we have to
141
00:05:04.949 --> 00:05:07.100
get filled in and as the audience, how much of
142
00:05:07.160 --> 00:05:11.399
that do you actually go through and try to process before,
143
00:05:11.600 --> 00:05:14.800
you know, taking the stage and doing your first scene
144
00:05:14.860 --> 00:05:17.279
or your first episode with the character? Do you really
145
00:05:17.300 --> 00:05:18.759
want to think about the backstory?
146
00:05:19.769 --> 00:05:22.069
Yeah, well, I mean, that's kind of, I think it's
147
00:05:22.110 --> 00:05:25.250
like know everything you can. You know, it's a bit
148
00:05:25.290 --> 00:05:28.860
like jazz, like learn all the traditional songs and and
149
00:05:28.879 --> 00:05:30.980
then just throw it all out and be live, you
150
00:05:31.019 --> 00:05:33.410
know what I mean? And what's great, it's a very
151
00:05:33.470 --> 00:05:37.370
Shakespearean tale in this way that the same thing that's
152
00:05:37.389 --> 00:05:39.769
happening to the world is happening to the town, is
153
00:05:39.810 --> 00:05:42.209
happening to the family, is happening to the man, you know?
154
00:05:42.680 --> 00:05:46.759
Secrets are bubbling to the surface that have been long buried,
155
00:05:47.220 --> 00:05:52.060
you know what I mean? And for me, the flashback
156
00:05:52.139 --> 00:05:55.699
episode that comes, I think, in five, provides all that.
157
00:05:57.019 --> 00:06:01.439
So my solution was found in that episode as to
158
00:06:01.519 --> 00:06:04.339
why I am the way I am. And my father's
159
00:06:04.439 --> 00:06:08.899
upbringing starts coming out in me, the more pressure is applied.
160
00:06:08.959 --> 00:06:12.300
But all I ever stuck to was I am her
161
00:06:12.339 --> 00:06:15.319
father because I fathered her and I will protect that
162
00:06:15.379 --> 00:06:17.629
to the end because I'm right and it is right.
163
00:06:17.810 --> 00:06:20.589
And both of our characters think we're right and perhaps
164
00:06:20.649 --> 00:06:23.800
we forget about the little human being in the middle
165
00:06:23.959 --> 00:06:25.540
yeah and what's right for her.
166
00:06:26.560 --> 00:06:29.480
Well again that that's actually a great point uh patrick
167
00:06:29.759 --> 00:06:31.839
if i can i'll close with this i think sometimes
168
00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:34.800
what what what ian is you know is sometimes it's
169
00:06:34.839 --> 00:06:37.899
devotion sometimes obsession sometimes maybe even on the brink of
170
00:06:38.139 --> 00:06:41.290
self-destruction i think we could say um how do you
171
00:06:41.319 --> 00:06:44.250
know how to play those different tones of his character
172
00:06:44.269 --> 00:06:46.850
was that something that you clocked in each script or
173
00:06:46.889 --> 00:06:47.889
each episode.
174
00:06:47.920 --> 00:06:49.839
Well, I don't map that out. I mean, that's the
175
00:06:49.879 --> 00:06:51.600
writer's job to do that. You know what I mean?
176
00:06:51.639 --> 00:06:54.259
So I've just got to be open to what is there.
177
00:06:54.279 --> 00:06:59.379
I mean, Ian is filled with grief, pain, guilt. You know,
178
00:06:59.439 --> 00:07:03.000
his duty as a father, his duty as a police officer,
179
00:07:03.019 --> 00:07:05.439
his duty as a husband, all these things. So it's
180
00:07:05.459 --> 00:07:08.569
not just about finding this lost girl. It's about redeeming himself.
181
00:07:08.649 --> 00:07:11.910
It's about his own self-respect, you know. So he becomes
182
00:07:11.970 --> 00:07:15.610
so singular and obsessive about it. that he does, he
183
00:07:15.620 --> 00:07:17.949
loses sight of not just her, but everybody around him.
184
00:07:18.009 --> 00:07:21.970
And there's so much collateral damage along the way. That's
185
00:07:22.069 --> 00:07:25.029
why he's not a hero. You know, it's much, much
186
00:07:25.110 --> 00:07:25.769
messier than that.
187
00:07:26.689 --> 00:07:29.230
You know, it is such an incredible story and I
188
00:07:29.269 --> 00:07:31.290
can't wait for everyone to watch it. I've gotten to
189
00:07:31.350 --> 00:07:33.329
see the episodes and trust me, it does live up
190
00:07:33.350 --> 00:07:35.350
to the hype and everybody is going to be talking
191
00:07:35.389 --> 00:07:38.129
about this show. So Patrick, Maxine, Brendan, thank you again
192
00:07:38.189 --> 00:07:38.970
so much for your time.
193
00:07:39.110 --> 00:07:39.889
It's a pleasure.
194
00:07:39.910 --> 00:07:40.550
Thank you.
195
00:07:40.689 --> 00:07:41.269
Thanks, Brad.
196
00:07:41.290 --> 00:07:42.319

55
00:01:44.670 --> 00:01:46.930
thank you so much for your time. Congratulations on the show, guys.
56
00:01:46.969 --> 00:01:47.750
Thanks, Brad.
57
00:01:47.829 --> 00:01:48.390
Great to meet you.
58
00:01:48.670 --> 00:01:49.349
Good to meet you.
59
00:01:50.390 --> 00:01:51.510
You as well. You as well.
60
00:01:51.569 --> 00:01:54.909
Look, I have so many questions about this show. First off, though,
61
00:01:55.409 --> 00:01:58.659
I want to say, the trailer for this show, because
62
00:01:58.840 --> 00:02:01.400
I was in the newsroom. I told somebody I'm doing
63
00:02:01.439 --> 00:02:03.959
this interview. They've seen the trailer. They said it's one
64
00:02:03.980 --> 00:02:06.920
of the most captivating trailers they've seen. And I've actually
65
00:02:06.959 --> 00:02:09.340
heard this from a couple of people. What so far,
66
00:02:09.430 --> 00:02:11.969
before we jump into the show, what have you all
67
00:02:12.050 --> 00:02:15.550
heard from the audience and from some of your colleagues
68
00:02:15.610 --> 00:02:17.990
just about the hype around this show, Patrick?
69
00:02:18.610 --> 00:02:19.069
The hype.
70
00:02:19.530 --> 00:02:21.509
I've heard nothing about the hype.
71
00:02:21.530 --> 00:02:22.669
You haven't heard anything about the hype?
72
00:02:23.110 --> 00:02:24.810
Look, well, this is the thing, Brad.
73
00:02:26.110 --> 00:02:30.120
In this game, you hear nothing but good things. People
74
00:02:30.219 --> 00:02:32.050
are loving it. Oh, my God, people are loving it.
75
00:02:32.060 --> 00:02:33.039
Super excited. It's amazing.
76
00:02:33.159 --> 00:02:33.639
People love it.
77
00:02:33.639 --> 00:02:35.419
No bad meetings. No bad meetings.
78
00:02:35.819 --> 00:02:37.979
And say, like, great, sounds good. We'll wait until it
79
00:02:38.020 --> 00:02:40.340
comes out. I've heard a lot of people say, I
80
00:02:40.379 --> 00:02:41.699
think I'll have to get Apple.
81
00:02:42.360 --> 00:02:42.939
That's a good thing.
82
00:02:44.039 --> 00:02:44.340
Have you?
83
00:02:44.819 --> 00:02:47.750
Brendan, tell me this. Has anyone said? Hey, Brendan, loved
84
00:02:47.789 --> 00:02:51.250
you in that trailer, mate, on the phones.
85
00:02:51.389 --> 00:02:51.990
Yeah, yeah.
86
00:02:52.490 --> 00:02:55.050
Patrick and I often get mistaken for each other.
87
00:02:55.110 --> 00:02:55.569
Constantly.
88
00:02:55.590 --> 00:02:59.129
Of course. We take credit for each other's careers quite
89
00:02:59.189 --> 00:03:02.250
constantly when we're recognised in public for each other's work.
90
00:03:02.310 --> 00:03:05.120
And I thought that was good for the actress, you know,
91
00:03:05.159 --> 00:03:05.979
Chloe's character.
92
00:03:06.039 --> 00:03:06.860
I think so, for sure.
93
00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:09.460
Because she may not have genuinely known who was her dad.
94
00:03:10.949 --> 00:03:15.030
And it adds to the mystery. It adds to people guessing.
95
00:03:15.069 --> 00:03:18.620
Jokes aside, when I heard Brendan was cast, I was like, well,
96
00:03:18.639 --> 00:03:22.539
that's kind of genius, like just on that level, because
97
00:03:22.580 --> 00:03:23.900
Ian and Henry.
98
00:03:23.919 --> 00:03:25.020
Because he is a genius.
99
00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:29.280
Well, I wouldn't say that, nor should you, Brad. But
100
00:03:29.419 --> 00:03:31.740
two sides of the same coin, Ian and Henry. You know,
101
00:03:32.060 --> 00:03:34.060
as you go through, it's not hero and villain. You
102
00:03:34.139 --> 00:03:36.939
see that nobody's actually clean in this. No.
103
00:03:37.039 --> 00:03:37.590
It's interesting.
104
00:03:37.780 --> 00:03:38.150
Filthy.
105
00:03:40.030 --> 00:03:42.610
Well, Maxine, why don't we talk about Jenna for a
106
00:03:42.849 --> 00:03:45.110
minute and talk about kind of your first impressions of
107
00:03:45.129 --> 00:03:46.650
the character, because I think the writing of the show
108
00:03:46.669 --> 00:03:49.539
is so excellent, as is the basis and the bones
109
00:03:49.580 --> 00:03:52.099
of any great story is the writing. What was your
110
00:03:52.139 --> 00:03:55.240
first impression of Jenna? And did you get all six?
111
00:03:55.539 --> 00:03:57.199
Did you get all the scripts at the same time
112
00:03:57.240 --> 00:03:59.080
or was it or did you get them one at
113
00:03:59.139 --> 00:03:59.530
a time?
114
00:03:59.759 --> 00:04:00.689
No, I think I did.
115
00:04:00.729 --> 00:04:02.810
No, it eked out over time for me.
116
00:04:02.810 --> 00:04:03.669
Yeah, I think I got a couple.
117
00:04:03.689 --> 00:04:06.990
I think I got like two scripts. And that's quite
118
00:04:07.030 --> 00:04:09.050
hard sometimes because you know, and you get to it
119
00:04:09.069 --> 00:04:10.969
and they go, oh, and the character will develop. And
120
00:04:10.990 --> 00:04:15.210
we've all been on those jobs that you go, last episode,
121
00:04:15.250 --> 00:04:18.009
when is the character developing? But they did sort of
122
00:04:18.040 --> 00:04:20.759
promise me that, you know, it would, yeah, it would
123
00:04:20.779 --> 00:04:24.240
become apparent, you know, and a character would have a,
124
00:04:24.899 --> 00:04:27.420
you know, a journey. But yeah, it was, when I
125
00:04:27.459 --> 00:04:30.220
first read it, I went, she's really, this is going
126
00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:30.680
to be hard.
127
00:04:30.740 --> 00:04:31.899
This is complicated.
128
00:04:31.959 --> 00:04:34.509
I don't mean emotionally, but I mean, just get into
129
00:04:34.529 --> 00:04:36.449
the nub of this woman and what makes her tick
130
00:04:36.509 --> 00:04:39.079
and why she does what she does. And, So for me,
131
00:04:39.220 --> 00:04:42.519
that was a real challenge to slot that jigsaw together.
132
00:04:42.639 --> 00:04:44.860
But I like a challenge. If it's not a challenge,
133
00:04:44.899 --> 00:04:47.740
then I don't really see the point in doing it,
134
00:04:47.879 --> 00:04:48.189
you know?
135
00:04:48.449 --> 00:04:51.410
So, yeah. Well, I mean, of course it's a challenge.
136
00:04:51.449 --> 00:04:53.670
And Britain, you know, obviously whenever we see a character
137
00:04:53.689 --> 00:04:55.889
for the first time on screen, they're bringing their whole
138
00:04:55.970 --> 00:04:58.829
life before we meet them with them. And in this
139
00:04:58.920 --> 00:05:02.110
one in particular, there's that period of 11 years that's
140
00:05:02.129 --> 00:05:04.920
so paramount and so much happens that we have to
141
00:05:04.949 --> 00:05:07.100
get filled in and as the audience, how much of
142
00:05:07.160 --> 00:05:11.399
that do you actually go through and try to process before,
143
00:05:11.600 --> 00:05:14.800
you know, taking the stage and doing your first scene
144
00:05:14.860 --> 00:05:17.279
or your first episode with the character? Do you really
145
00:05:17.300 --> 00:05:18.759
want to think about the backstory?
146
00:05:19.769 --> 00:05:22.069
Yeah, well, I mean, that's kind of, I think it's
147
00:05:22.110 --> 00:05:25.250
like know everything you can. You know, it's a bit
148
00:05:25.290 --> 00:05:28.860
like jazz, like learn all the traditional songs and and
149
00:05:28.879 --> 00:05:30.980
then just throw it all out and be live, you
150
00:05:31.019 --> 00:05:33.410
know what I mean? And what's great, it's a very
151
00:05:33.470 --> 00:05:37.370
Shakespearean tale in this way that the same thing that's
152
00:05:37.389 --> 00:05:39.769
happening to the world is happening to the town, is
153
00:05:39.810 --> 00:05:42.209
happening to the family, is happening to the man, you know?
154
00:05:42.680 --> 00:05:46.759
Secrets are bubbling to the surface that have been long buried,
155
00:05:47.220 --> 00:05:52.060
you know what I mean? And for me, the flashback
156
00:05:52.139 --> 00:05:55.699
episode that comes, I think, in five, provides all that.
157
00:05:57.019 --> 00:06:01.439
So my solution was found in that episode as to
158
00:06:01.519 --> 00:06:04.339
why I am the way I am. And my father's
159
00:06:04.439 --> 00:06:08.899
upbringing starts coming out in me, the more pressure is applied.
160
00:06:08.959 --> 00:06:12.300
But all I ever stuck to was I am her
161
00:06:12.339 --> 00:06:15.319
father because I fathered her and I will protect that
162
00:06:15.379 --> 00:06:17.629
to the end because I'm right and it is right.
163
00:06:17.810 --> 00:06:20.589
And both of our characters think we're right and perhaps
164
00:06:20.649 --> 00:06:23.800
we forget about the little human being in the middle
165
00:06:23.959 --> 00:06:25.540
yeah and what's right for her.
166
00:06:26.560 --> 00:06:29.480
Well again that that's actually a great point uh patrick
167
00:06:29.759 --> 00:06:31.839
if i can i'll close with this i think sometimes
168
00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:34.800
what what what ian is you know is sometimes it's
169
00:06:34.839 --> 00:06:37.899
devotion sometimes obsession sometimes maybe even on the brink of
170
00:06:38.139 --> 00:06:41.290
self-destruction i think we could say um how do you
171
00:06:41.319 --> 00:06:44.250
know how to play those different tones of his character
172
00:06:44.269 --> 00:06:46.850
was that something that you clocked in each script or
173
00:06:46.889 --> 00:06:47.889
each episode.
174
00:06:47.920 --> 00:06:49.839
Well, I don't map that out. I mean, that's the
175
00:06:49.879 --> 00:06:51.600
writer's job to do that. You know what I mean?
176
00:06:51.639 --> 00:06:54.259
So I've just got to be open to what is there.
177
00:06:54.279 --> 00:06:59.379
I mean, Ian is filled with grief, pain, guilt. You know,
178
00:06:59.439 --> 00:07:03.000
his duty as a father, his duty as a police officer,
179
00:07:03.019 --> 00:07:05.439
his duty as a husband, all these things. So it's
180
00:07:05.459 --> 00:07:08.569
not just about finding this lost girl. It's about redeeming himself.
181
00:07:08.649 --> 00:07:11.910
It's about his own self-respect, you know. So he becomes
182
00:07:11.970 --> 00:07:15.610
so singular and obsessive about it. that he does, he
183
00:07:15.620 --> 00:07:17.949
loses sight of not just her, but everybody around him.
184
00:07:18.009 --> 00:07:21.970
And there's so much collateral damage along the way. That's
185
00:07:22.069 --> 00:07:25.029
why he's not a hero. You know, it's much, much
186
00:07:25.110 --> 00:07:25.769
messier than that.
187
00:07:26.689 --> 00:07:29.230
You know, it is such an incredible story and I
188
00:07:29.269 --> 00:07:31.290
can't wait for everyone to watch it. I've gotten to
189
00:07:31.350 --> 00:07:33.329
see the episodes and trust me, it does live up
190
00:07:33.350 --> 00:07:35.350
to the hype and everybody is going to be talking
191
00:07:35.389 --> 00:07:38.129
about this show. So Patrick, Maxine, Brendan, thank you again
192
00:07:38.189 --> 00:07:38.970
so much for your time.
193
00:07:39.110 --> 00:07:39.889
It's a pleasure.
194
00:07:39.910 --> 00:07:40.550
Thank you.
195
00:07:40.689 --> 00:07:41.269
Thanks, Brad.
196
00:07:41.290 --> 00:07:42.319
Have a good one, guys. Thank you.
